Ms Court&#39;s religious &quot;lifestyle&quot; is most definitely a choice. Raised as a Catholic she then &quot;chose&quot; to leave the church to become a Pentecostal; further choosing to be come a minister. The Bible has very specific denunciations for a woman who chooses such a lifestyle. One that puts her against what&#39;s best for society -according to this God she quotes as seeing abomination of homosexuality.</p>
<p>Ms. Court remove the plank in your eye and you will see the face of a bigot in the mirror.</p>James commented on 'Tennis Legend Margaret Court Doesn't Want to Be Labeled a Hater for Calling Gays 'Abominable''tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef0168e50ad92e970c2012-01-05T23:35:29Z2012-01-05T23:35:29ZJamesDoes this woman not understand that her God-created-man theory has not been proven?

So what about all the beautiful creatures that God creates who are born with a penis and a uterus? Or a vagina and testes? There are more combinations of biology, gender expression, and sexuality than there are fingers and toes on the human body. This woman needs to STFU and sit down. If she&#39;s so big on the bible, why not take it&#39;s advice and be a SILENT WOMAN. </p>Stuffed Animal commented on 'Tennis Legend Margaret Court Doesn't Want to Be Labeled a Hater for Calling Gays 'Abominable''tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef0162ff1077ec970d2012-01-05T16:40:45Z2012-01-05T16:40:45ZStuffed Animalhttp://ignoranceisplentiful.blogspot.com/Despicable hetero-bigotry, stubborn resistance to following God's Golden Rule . . . these are choices that Margaret Court has made,...<p>Despicable hetero-bigotry, stubborn resistance to following God&#39;s Golden Rule . . . these are choices that Margaret Court has made, and ones she will have to answer for on Judgment Day.</p>MikeMick commented on 'Tennis Legend Margaret Court Doesn't Want to Be Labeled a Hater for Calling Gays 'Abominable''tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef016760055832970b2012-01-05T16:28:56Z2012-01-05T16:28:56ZMikeMickMost of the anti-Court rhetoric is dead on correct, except for one: Court was NOT an also-ran as a tennis...<p>Most of the anti-Court rhetoric is dead on correct, except for one: Court was NOT an also-ran as a tennis player. She was a brilliant champion, and is one of the few who holds a winning record over Billie Jean King in major tournaments. Court&#39;s big fall when when she lost to Bobby Riggs because he outsmarted her and got her off her game. Billie Jean eclipsed Court in the public eye because Billie Jean turned the tables on Riggs, took him off HIS game and mopped the court with him. </p>Dearcomrade commented on 'Tennis Legend Margaret Court Doesn't Want to Be Labeled a Hater for Calling Gays 'Abominable''tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef0168e5063ad6970c2012-01-05T16:07:57Z2012-01-05T16:07:57ZDearcomradeI think she was hit in the head by too many tennis balls.

But it was a &quot;legal expert among the Pharisees&quot; who asked him the question about what the greatest commandment is.<br />
Paul never met Jesus during Jesus&#39; lifetime and he violently persecuted Christians until after Jesus&#39; time, when he claimed to have had a vision.</p>Morning Tundra commented on 'Tennis Legend Margaret Court Doesn't Want to Be Labeled a Hater for Calling Gays 'Abominable''tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef0168e5047754970c2012-01-05T13:14:32Z2012-01-05T13:14:32ZMorning TundraFor Margaret, the Bible's words are infallible about homosex (never mind that her lord and savior said diddly about it),...<p>For Margaret, the Bible&#39;s words are infallible about homosex (never mind that her lord and savior said diddly about it), but the prohibitions against leather, pork, shellfish, interest from her tennis earnings, the bit about elderly librarian/spinster hair and clothing, judging other humans, and women&#39;s subsidiary status to men are not to be taken literally.

I believe it was Paul who asked Jesus what is the most important Commandment? Jesus replied, to love God with all your heart and soul. Paul pressed on and asked which is the second most important...Jesus replied...to love your neighbor as you love my Father. Since you appear to have trouble with reading comprehension, it boils down to this: If you want to be a true Christian, you have to love ALL of God&#39;s children, even those that are different from you. Get it now? See, it&#39;s not so easy to be a true Christian. Please refrain from identifying yourself as a Christian until you can learn to love everyone. You, dear, are NOT a Christian. </p>CB commented on 'Tennis Legend Margaret Court Doesn't Want to Be Labeled a Hater for Calling Gays 'Abominable''tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef0162ff0afcfa970d2012-01-05T07:35:36Z2012-01-05T07:35:36ZCBhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4DyAqnJoPoI really don't care what she says....people (ie. so-called evangelicals) 'cherry-pick' the Bible to support their bigotry.
